BLOW HOLE or VENT BUTTONS:
blow hole or vent hole buttons are a lot older than first thought . they started out as two pieces ( the back with the holes and the front smooth convex side ) the two halves are hot soldered or brazed together and the holes do let out the hot gases then the shank is brazed on. these button are found at sites dated from mid 1600's to mid 1700's as a lot are found at French and Indian war sites.
NIce buckle.
The cast iron flower pots you mention may be very well worth lugging out of the woods ?
